This week’s project developments span token sales, shutdowns, hacks, protocol upgrades, and new product launches across crypto and adjacent sectors. Robinhood Chain reached $700 million in onchain assets three weeks after launch, with $430 million in stablecoins and about $500 million in TVL. Worldcoin Foundation sold 217.4 million WLD to institutions including Pantera Capital for about $52.5 million, implying a price near $0.24 per token, roughly 36% below the current market price, with a one-year lock-up. Movement has filed for bankruptcy after its onchain apps generated less than $800 in daily revenue for an extended period since last November, while daily chain fees stayed in the single digits and were just $1 over the past 24 hours. In another major incident, Wanchain’s Cardano bridge was hit by a suspected exploit that moved roughly 515 million NIGHT, valued at about $9 million, out of the bridge vault. Elsewhere, Stripe is in advanced talks to acquire OpenRouter at a valuation that could reach $10 billion. Odos said it will shut down operations and permanently close all services on July 30. Uniswap introduced a v4 Hook standard for permissioned pools, LayerZero partnered with Keeta on tokenized bank-deposit transfers, PumpFun’s developer posted a growth leadership role with a base salary of up to $1 million, and Jito launched the self-custodial Solana trading platform JTX.

PANews’ July 25 daily roundup collected a broad set of crypto regulatory, market, project, funding, and data developments, led by two market signals: analysts said stablecoin inflows to exchanges have fallen to their lowest level of 2025, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined net outflow of $240 million on July 24, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for $212 million of that figure. The report also covered a Hong Kong court sentencing Xiao Rui, son of former Wuhan supervisory official Xiao Jun, to six years and nine months in prison in a money-laundering case involving more than HK$64 million; Thailand’s SEC filing criminal complaints against Bitkub Online and two former directors over disclosures tied to a 2021 theft; and India’s move to ask GitHub to remove repositories for Bitchat, an offline messaging app backed by Jack Dorsey. On the project and corporate side, PANews highlighted Robinhood’s talks with Crypto.com on prediction markets, Across Protocol’s post-mortem on a relayer incident, LayerZero’s plan to wind down support for 20 low-activity chains, Phantom’s scheduled end of support for Monad, BlackRock’s transfer of about 3,126 BTC to Coinbase Prime, Circle’s mint of 250 million USDC, and World Foundation’s $52.5 million strategic WLD sale led by Pantera Capital. The roundup also included updates on Anduril, LMAX, B2C2, Capital Group, ARK, Kinetic Group, Bitcoin volatility, and Hyperliquid buybacks.

LayerZero said it will phase out offchain support for 20 low-activity blockchains, with the first shutdown taking effect on July 30. The move covers LayerZero Labs-operated DVN and Executor services, while Stargate v2 will also drop support for five of those chains: Botanix, EDU Chain, Aurora, Taiko, and LightLink. The company warned that users who do not bridge or redeem affected assets before each chain’s cutoff date could lose access to their funds. The timeline is split across four dates: July 30, July 31, August 28, and September 30. LayerZero also provided chain-specific instructions for Stargate users holding assets such as USDC.e, wETH, USDT, S*USDC, and S*ETH. In several cases, users are asked to bridge assets back to Stargate Pools or withdraw liquidity before support ends. LayerZero said the shutdown applies to its managed offchain services rather than onchain Endpoint contracts, which remain deployed and immutable. Even so, without official verification and execution services, cross-chain messaging on those networks will effectively lose LayerZero’s operational support. The announcement points users toward deeper-liquidity destinations including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC.

Decentralized exchange aggregator Odos said the company operating the platform is winding down and will shut all services on July 30, 2026. Before that date, the Odos app will switch to read-only mode on July 27, allowing users to view balances and transaction history but not execute new trades. The team said Odos never directly held user funds tied to external wallets such as MetaMask, Rabby, or hardware wallets, since those assets remain controlled by users’ private keys. It also warned that users who created wallets inside Odos through Google, Apple, or email login must export their private keys or move assets to a self-custody wallet before the shutdown date. Odos, which spun out of The Graph contributor Semiotic Labs in 2022, has routed more than $104 billion in trading volume across about 15 blockchain networks. The team added that the ODOS token will continue operating separately from the platform shutdown, while Odos DAO remains independent from the operating company and will share its plans later. The project also said there will be no new product, token migration, token claim, or airdrop, and urged users to stay alert for scam messages.

Odos, the decentralized exchange aggregator, said it will permanently shut down all services on July 30, 2026, bringing its four-year operating run to an end after routing more than $104 billion in trades. The team said the app will switch to read-only mode on July 27. Because Odos is non-custodial, user assets remain onchain, though users who created wallets through social or email logins must transfer funds or export private keys before the cutoff. The company did not give a reason for the shutdown. It has already disabled new signups, wallet creation, and limit orders, while swaps will continue until the app becomes read-only. Odos also said the ODOS token remains unaffected onchain and that the Odos DAO operates separately from the company, while warning that any post-shutdown token migration, claim, or airdrop offers should be treated as scams. The closure follows a sharp decline in platform volume from its December 2024 peak and comes less than two years after the company closed a Series A round backed by firms including Uniswap, CE Innovation Capital, Orbs, Mantle, and PAKA.

DEX aggregator ODOS said it will cease operations after an internal review, with its app set to enter read-only mode on July 27, 2026 and all services scheduled for permanent shutdown on July 30. The company said users can still swap assets and close positions for now, but new user registration, new wallet creation, and limit order functions were halted on July 23. ODOS said it operates under a non-custodial model, meaning user funds remain under user control on-chain and are not held by the platform. It specifically warned users who created wallets through social logins or email to transfer assets or export private keys before July 30. After the shutdown, historical transaction records and account balances will remain viewable, but the team will stop product development, technical support, and maintenance. ODOS also said its token will continue to exist on-chain independently, while any future plans involving ODOS DAO will be announced separately by the DAO. The team added that it will not launch any new product, token migration, claim event, or airdrop, and warned users against scams involving fake support staff, direct messages, or so-called migration websites.

Odos, a DeFi liquidity aggregation protocol, said via its official X account that its operating company is shutting down. The company laid out a shutdown schedule that starts on July 23, when new account registrations, new wallet creation, and new limit order functions were disabled, while existing users could still swap and close positions. From July 27 to July 30, the application will move into read-only mode, allowing users to view historical transaction records and balances. On July 30, all Odos services will be permanently closed. Odos said it is a non-custodial protocol, meaning user assets remain on-chain. Users who created wallets through social login or email login need to transfer assets or export private keys before July 30. The project also said the ODOS token will continue to exist independently on-chain, and the company’s closure will not affect its on-chain mechanics. Odos DAO plans will be announced separately.

Oracles bridge blockchains with the real world, enabling smart contracts to access off-chain data. This article covers their mechanics, categories, use cases, and major projects like Chainlink and Band Protocol.
